What Are The Signs Of An Infants Sexual Abuse?
I hope that you respond to this. I am a single mother, who of course has to put my son in day care. I am already a little, well alot paranoid of day....care As I worked at one that I had my child in and chose to quit and remove my child, as they had too many children, I believe to take care of and were a little wore out. Now I have been with a home daycare, which I did not want to do. He seems to enjoy it there...........but there are many questionable things, which I try to blow off because not all people raise kids the same. And I am the mother and all the better treat them as I do....blah...blah...yes have taken that into acct. But my child since going to this woman, the last 2 months, has bucked and been crazy about me changing his diaper.....every time! Never before, but at my previous job at daycare children do want to get away and off the changing table and such. But not like this, I try to put Desitin on and he freaks.And now he looks as if he has open skinon his inner anus. Can this be from new foods tried, am I insane/too paranoid/or what? What are the signs of an infants sexual abuse? And how....if needed do I request a surprise visit from the state or have an investigation done. As she is state certified daycare and foster parent home. Please respond.

In our opinion you need to immediately take your son to his pediatrician. Since there seems to be both physical and emotional issues involved we strongly suggest you consult a professional. Always trust your instincts.Last edited by Michael; 10-16-2007, 10:18 AM. -
sounds like sexual abuse possibility
it'sounds like he may have been molested and since he's a minor then he go straight to the doctor immediatly please do so for the sake of the child. it's very important.Comment

signs of molestation.
I am having trouble believing that you have even wasted as much time as it would take to write your message. I would have had him checked out at first inkling!!!Comment

Yes, the pediatrician needs to be informed and there are forsensic tests that can be done to look for damage. I have seen where if a child cannot talk they show signs like "humping" things. A good sign for an older child if deficating themselves. I have seen this all the way up into pre teens. I have also seen children (all children get curious so I am not talking about looking and feeling) do things to other children that they would only know if they seen it or if this act was done to them. Just go with your gut and most likely it is right. God blessed us with motherly instinct for a reason.Comment

Infant abuse
Your child's safety IS your responsibilty--if you have ANY reason to believe their is sexual abuse you need to take him/her to a doctor. Nothing more needs to be said-just do it. Noone needs to know you went-if there is signs, your doctor will call authorities for you. THEN YOU TAKE ACTION w/ them-and get this monster out of care. YOU are the child's mother-he/she LOOKS UP TO YOU for help. I sure hope this is just a stage your child is going through.
GOOD LUCKComment

i understand
i have been going through the same thing. when i talk to family they say i'm over reacting and that there is nothing wrong with my son. but there has been times when his stool has been runny, and it smelled like sperm to me. he has anal fissures, but everyone says its from the acid in his stool.
my son is in a church based daycare, but i guess that doesn't mean much nowadays. all the employees act really strange like they are hiding something. and at one time i thought they weren't feeding him correctly.
i feel like there is nothing i can do because who's going to believe me. my own family tells me that i'm over reacting.
so you are not alone, i've been going crazy doing research on possible illnesses, taking him to the doctor, and trying not to punch out the workers at the daycare.
but, i don't know what to do. this daycare has been around for thirty years. look how long it took for people to catch those priests.
i felt alone until i read your post.Comment

Please get both of these children to a hospital or doctor right away.Comment

I'm happy to hear this is probably trolls. I was seriously disturbed by this thread.Comment

I'm new to forums -- how can you tell if it's a troll (which, I take it, is just someone out to annoy people online, right?)?Originally posted by jen
Also, does anyone know of some good websites that describe the signs to look for in infant/toddler sexual abuse? I once watched a child that was exhibiting "questionable" behaviour, but thought it may be completely innocent. Two other moms who had watched this child on a casual basis also noticed the behaviour and were concerned about it. Nothing came of it, but it would be nice to know the signs in case it came up again.Comment

Usually they are unregistered and making emotionally charged claims...the sort of stuff that would get us going. When that didn't work, add a few unregistered responses to get the conversation going.
In this case...there were several immediate responses that were all unregistered with the final one being completely over the top. Who smells seman in thier kids diaper and doesn't immediately to the doctor and the police, but instead keeps sending the child back.
If it sounds totally crazy, it probably is. Isn't it sad that people don't have anything better to do with their time?Comment

It was posted in 10-16-2007 when the forum started. It could be true or not true but the responses are valuable "searchable" content. We monitor each post.Comment

Abuse in infants
It is very hard and disturbing to think any child could possibly be put through this. I myself have a daughter nearly 3 - that at first you have doubts and think not my child...she is over-reacting...this is something very serious and it is very hard to openly discuss. shame on the people that judge anyone who reaches out for any type of guidance.Comment

I, too, found this thread bothersome & disturbing. If you all believe it is a troll, is there any way to "lock" this thread so that no more posts are added to it. Perhaps, Michael, you could add something to the first and last post so that all who "stumble" upon it will not go through any unnecessary reading.Comment

I get it BUT.....

At least this mother is reaching out and asking questions. All people are different. She shouldn't be made out to feel stupid or inadequate because she is asking questions before jumping in the car to the doctor...this is her way of handling it and even though you or I may have handled it different, she is doing fine because she is being proactive. I think when people make comments like this it discourages people from reporting and possibly checking on suspicions because they feel they may be judged for not doing something "in the RIGHT order" or "fast enough"....and so on. So good job for asking questions and hopefully this situation turns out for the better. I encourage all to use online, community, family, and any other resources available to gain knowledge and know how on what to do in these kind of situations.Comment
